History
ZeroCater was founded by Arram Sabeti. Sabeti moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with the goal of working on startups. He initially worked at Ben & Jerry's, then at the startup Justin.tv. While at Justin.tv, he managed ordering lunch for the office, and some other companies asked him to help with managing their lunch as well. Sensing that this might be a new business opportunity, Sabeti left Justin.tv to work full-time on the company, which became known as ZeroCater. He convinced a developer to join him at the startup and successfully applied to and was accepted at the startup accelerator Y Combinator in 2011.

Although initially operational only in the San Francisco Bay Area, ZeroCater started operations in New York City in April 2013.
